True, but you must redraw them to properly apply the right hand rule. The vectors are both applied at the same point; redraw so that the tails of the vectors emanate from that point.

By redrawing the vectors you are not changing them. You're just sliding the vector A over so that its tail coincides with that of vector B. Sliding vectors around does not change them, as long as they continue to point in the same direction.
